It is only halfway through 2025, and a leading exchange's anti-fraud record has already become quite solid. According to the latest data, this exchange issues over 9,600 risk alerts daily and blacklists more than 36,000 malicious addresses. The result? It has prevented potential scam losses amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars.

A more direct figure is—over $12.8 million in user losses have been recovered.

What does this reflect? First, on-chain scam activities are indeed occurring at a high frequency, and scammers' methods are iterating and upgrading. Second, the exchange's security system is truly effective, forming a complete defense loop from early warning to interception and fund recovery. For ordinary users, this means an extra layer of protection during use—though not 100% secure, at least someone is monitoring those dangerous signals.

The reason these kinds of data are worth paying attention to is not because the numbers themselves are large, but because of the workload and technical investment behind them. Every warning, every malicious address intercepted, represents the computational power consumption and decision-making costs of the anti-scam team.

$3.9 billion anti-fraud efforts are really impressive, but you still have to be vigilant yourself. Fraudsters upgrade as fast as we do, and the exchange's defenses are only so strong. $12.8 million recovered? That sounds great, but the number of people who have been scammed is definitely much higher. Receiving 9,600 warnings every day is an incredible workload... I feel exhausted just thinking about it. That said, this system is indeed useful, but I still prefer to protect myself. Security is always relative; don't rely too much on the platform, everyone. Anti-fraud efforts cost money, but at least the attitude is good. $12.8 million is just the tip of the iceberg, right? The money truly lost to scams has long been wasted. On-chain risks are so high that no wonder people around me are starting to be more cautious. Looking at the warning data alone, it's huge, but the real question is how many people actually click to check it.

$3.9 billion stopped, and can still recover $12.8 million? That operation is truly brilliant, gotta give a thumbs up The scammers are really getting more aggressive, if exchanges don't stay vigilant, it's really the end 9600 warnings every day, that workload must be terrifying But on the other hand, you still have to be a bit more cautious yourself, can't rely entirely on the exchange to clean up for you This data looks quite solid, at least much better than platforms that just lay flat On-chain scams are so frequent, how are people still clicking on those phishing links? Recovering $12.8 million is real, but how was the figure of $3.9 billion calculated? It feels a bit uncertain You need to carefully check which exchange you're using and how secure it is Anyway, I feel reassured as long as someone is monitoring risk signals. Who still trusts full autonomy these days? This closed-loop defense system is well done, hope it's not just for show

$12.8 million recovered? The number looks impressive, but compared to 3.9 billion in loss prevention, it's really just a drop in the bucket. Scammers are upgrading incredibly fast, and exchanges need to step up their defenses—this is the real deal. Every day, 9,600 warnings... the computational cost sounds terrifying, no wonder gas fees keep soaring. Speaking of relying on warnings and blacklists to prevent 3.9 billion in losses, I can't imagine what would happen without this system. The anti-fraud team has quietly done so much work without making a fuss—true heroes in silence. Recovering $12.8 million sounds like a lot, but it's probably just the tip of the iceberg of scams. On-chain activity = high-frequency scams; this equation is becoming increasingly obvious. Having someone watch for danger signals is better than no one, though it's not a 100% guarantee. Releasing this data is basically saying, don't waste your time—this water is a bit deep. The black address list has grown by another 36,000 addresses; the scammer pool is truly endless.

3.9 billion USD? Sounds intense, but I'm more concerned about how the recovered 12.8 million is being distributed. The evolution speed of scammers is really fast; we need to be extra cautious. 9600 warnings every day—this workload must be terrifying... But can we really trust that? With such a low recovery rate, most of the money is still gone. Luckily, someone is watching; otherwise, I would have lost my small amount of money long ago. Fraud prevention is real, but fundamentally, we still have to rely on ourselves and not be greedy. Who bears the cost of computing power consumption? Is it ultimately the users who pay? Releasing this data is meant to boost confidence; I don't think it's that miraculous. It has a bit of a boastful tone, but they have indeed taken action.

It's unbelievable to recover 12.8 million, scammers should be crying --- 9600 warnings every day, how much workload is that --- Preventing 3.9 billion in scam losses, this number is even higher than what I earn haha --- Finally someone put malicious addresses on the blacklist, they were too arrogant before --- But you still have to be cautious yourself; exchanges can't prevent all scams --- Are on-chain scams so rampant? I need to be more careful --- $12.8 million recovered, this is an exchange that takes real action --- 9600 warnings daily, scammers are really increasing --- No matter how strong the defense system is, user cooperation is needed; don't fall for phishing --- What does this data show? On-chain is indeed a sieve --- Strong recovery ability proves that security departments are indeed working diligently --- Prevented potential losses of 3.9 billion, the efficiency is pretty good --- The question is, how many scams can escape these 9600 warnings --- 36,000 addresses on the blacklist, how long would overtime take to accumulate that many
